Pros

Your peers are largely all competent and well intentioned, there is generally a process for everything, decent work life balance as at the end of the day everyone acknowledges we are just making consumer products, not saving the world

Cons

There are pockets of intense activity where folks burn out and also pockets of career coasting roles where you can phone it in. P&G won't do anything if the NPV isn't positive, so necessarily won't be a leader in sustainability despite its position to make an outsized impact in the consumption landscape. P&G filters for a certain type of personality so you will mostly work alongside "Proctoids" aka impossibly optimistic churchgoers who rejoice in writing reports & memos.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
